2 The Avengers
Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo
Director: Joss Whedon
Release Date: 4 May 2012
Running The Dark Knight a close second for hype will be The Avengers. The line-up includes Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Nick Fury, Black Widow, and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). Mark Ruffalo is replacing Ed Norton as The Hulk. But who are they going to fight? It’s a challenge to find a credible threat that requires their combined effort – they’re turning to outer space for that, with a big dose of Loki megalomania thrown in. Director Joss Whedon has a daunting task on his hands, but as a former Marvel writer and a pro at ensemble films, he has every chance.
